Puppet users - Jun 2010 - Why is a package statement ignored?

I have a class like that starts like this:

class gu_netbackup {
    package { "libacl":
        ensure => installed,
    }
    package { "xinetd":
        ensure => installed,
    }

The xinted package gets installed, and if I removed it, gets reinstalled.
The package libacl is never installed and no error is logged about it...

Any idea why that would be?

Manually running "yum install libacl" does get it installed.

Thanks a lot.
Mohamed.

So rpm -q libacl matches nothing?

It puppet detecting a x64 version installed already, and skips it? yum
would offer to install a 32bit version in that case. Netbackup is more
than likely depending on a 32-bit compat.

Thanks a lot David.
It seems the x64 version was already installed and netback needs the i386...

libacl.i386 : Dynamic library for access control list support.
libacl.x86_64 : Dynamic library for access control list support.

I''m gonna try and require both  both packages.

Mohamed.
